I got in pictures of my daughter and my grandbabies

I was so happy to get pictures of my daughter and grand babies yesterday.

I do not get to see them because they live on base in Hawii and I miss them terribly.

A few more Calico Junction Blocks

Here are some more of my favorite blocks from this group of fabrics. I usually go for bright colors but I really have enjoyed working with this fabric.

Calico Junction Blocks

These are a few of my first foundation pieced blocks. I fell in love with foundation piecing stars. I was able to do blocks I would never have attempted with templates. I hated working with template plastic.

I have made 14 blocks so far in with this fabric and I plan on making a minimum of at least 20. I hope I have enough fabric for 30 blocks.

Twisted Log Cabin

This block is one of the main reasons I started foundation piecing. I had only made one block when I started foundation piecing this one. I always have several projects going at the same time. I really had an introduction to foundation piecing with this block. There were so many pieces to cut and sew and the lines were hard to keep up with. I sewed the wrong line a few times and had to "unsew." The block has not been finished yet because I am thinking about making it the center of a medallion quilt.

Crumb Quilt King Size and Wall Hanging

This quilt started out as a lap quilt for while I am watching TV. A friend of mine that was visiting saw the fabric and the first few blocks and decided that she must have it. I went back to the fabric store and purchased enough of the fabric for a king size quilt and made it up. The wall hanging wasjust left over pieces.

Round Robin Christmas Quilt

A group of friends and myself started a round robin with a christmas theme. This is the result. I have every intention of adding at least one more round to it and probably 2 plus the border.

Another Calico Carriage Pattern (Winter Blues)

Even though this quilt is not a star I just love the winter toile and the feel of the blues. I bought fabric for another of these qults (a cowgirl barrel racer) and just have not got around to it yet.

The Big Calico Carriage Star

This pattern is the same as the previos one but I had to figure out how to use more colors and make them work. It took graph paper and time to figure yardage and the way the colors would work in the quilt. I later found a pattern for this size quilt. The picture does not do the quilt justice. It is very large and it did not hang well while being photographed.

Another Star By Calico Carriage

I found this pattern and feel in love with it. I wanted to try this small version before I went to the big version. I had the fabric

in my stash and had been waiting for the perfect project for it.

Another Calico Carriage Star Pattern

I just could not stop making these stars.

I like this one the best.

Calico Cariage Quilts

These patterns are great. The instructions are fantastic and the pattern goes together very easily. I can make one of these quilts in less than a day if I work steady. I love stars and these make nice quilts.

Turning Twenty Quilts

I really like the turning 20 quilts. They show your fabric well and are very easy.

I turned the blocks different ways and made two totally different looking quilts.

Trip Around The World 2

I enjoyed the other Trip Around The World quilt so much that when I saw this in the Quilter's Magazine I new exactly what fabric to use to make the pattern.

I had seen this fabric at my Local Quilt Shop and I had fallen in love with it. It is the Moda Botanical line and it is stunning fabric.

Trip Around The World

I fell in love with this pattern and had been

looking for something to do with all the fat quarters I had bought at a sale. I thought the two were made for each other.

It took me about 4 days of work to make this quilt. I loved making everything line up and just had a lot offun making this quilt.

It is so big that part of it is on the floor.

Ricky Timms Convergence Quilt

This is a quilt I had a lot of fun with. I had the bright colors I love and a pattern that was unlike anything I had completed before. I just love the fabric in this quilt. The fabric in the middle of the quilt is by Paula Nadelstern (she is one of my favorte fabric artists) and the border is a batik I happened upon after the quilt was completed. I could not believe how well it matched.

A group of friends and I had a sew day and we all made these quilts. Every one of them was so very different.
